Birthday

I had a very long but fun birthday yesterday. The best part was certainly seeing Alan for the first time in a few months. He managed to sneak away at the airport and buy me a lei for my birthday. It is made of beautiful purple orchids and it just smells amazing. Here's a picture of me wearing it on the balcony of our hotel:

After we got settled in to the hotel we headed out for a bite to eat. Just around the corner from our hotel is a great bar with a million beers on tap. We ended up having some nachos, lettuce wraps, pizza, and beer from there. I know, doesn't sound like local fare but they are all things that are really hard to get in Singapore so were a nice change for me.

After dinner we went for a short walk along Waikiki Beach. It was really nice weather (hot for Alan but nice for me since there was no humidity) and very pretty along the water. A few shots from the walk:


Headed down for some breakfast now and our first full day of exploring. More later...
